Construction Worker Killed On Hurst Job Site

HURST (1080 KRLD) - Heavy winds may have played a role in a deadly construction site accident in Hurst.

61-year-old George Clark of Frisco was working on a new hotel on Campus Drive in Hurst shortly after 7:00 a.m. when he fell 25 feet off a ladder.

He was pronounced dead a few minutes later.

“Our officers said that it’s possible that wind did play a part in the accident,” says Assistant Hurst Police Chief Billy Keadle. “(Clark) and another worker talked about using the ladder in the windy conditions just prior to the accident.”
